LANCASTER, Lancelot (d.1570), of Sockbridge, Westmld.

Descended from the medieval barons of Kendal, Lancaster belonged to one of the oldest families in Westmorland, where he had extensive estates. His one appearance in Parliament left no mark upon the vestigial journal of the House. He died 1 Aug. 1570 and was succeeded by his eldest son Edward, then aged 33.Vis.
